Tableau Certified Data Analyst Beta: Post Test Thoughts

Just a quick rundown of my thoughts on the new certification after taking the exam

[DamonMurphy]

I've been a Certified Associate since 2017 (remember the original "Qualified Associate"? Haha). So Tableau seems to change the cert process every couple of years. I signed up to take the beta on 10/6 since my current cert expires in Nov. I hope it goes well.

Thanks for posting your initial thoughts. I appreciate getting the comparison between this new cert and the old cert.

hey, thanks for the info - very insightful. Just wanted to ask you about a topic you briefly touched upon: Data Prep. To your experience on the actual test:

Are test taker expected to take decisions whether to use blend, union, join (inner, outer etc) and PERFORM that on the data set.
OR
The question explicitly mentions WHICH one of those - blend, union, join (inner, outer etc) - you need to perform
OR
Theoretical question on WHAT steps you need to take to perform any of those specific ones?

Thanks again.

How did you save the workbook, different for every task for in book1?

All all Tableau certifications getting expired, to be replaced by the new Data Analyst certification?

Is the Beta mention appearing on the certificate ? (this may make a reason HRs can consider the certificate not serious)

Thanks for the post test thoughts. would you recommend certified desktop associate or the new data analyst certification for someone paying out of pocket and wanting to improve their resume?
